helps researchers be more productive by
teaching them basic computing skills. We run boot camps at
dozens of sites around the world, and also provide open
access material online for self-paced instruction.

Bay Area Vision Research Day is an annual one-day meeting hosted by the
Vision Science graduate program at UC Berkeley, dedicated to fostering
community amongst researchers in the San Francisco Bay Area in vision-related
fields including neuroscience, ophthalmology, psychology, optics, and computer
vision.

There was recently an email on the VisionList requesting a mirror of the van Hateren image data set.
Here are all of the .iml files, which form the set of linear images. There is another set of the same images in deblurred .imc files which corrected for the optics of the camera. Both sets can be downloaded in their entirety in two separate .tgz files here.

Philipp Lies maintains a mirror hosted at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, which contains a more complete description of the data, as well as both the linear .iml and the deblurred .imc files, as well as all of the information which was present at the original website (such as the file format and how to read files into matlab).

The purpose of this database is to provide a large number of colour images of
natural scenes, calibrated, if required, for use in biological and computer
vision research. So far we have over 850 images and are increasing the number
each month.
The images are free for research, but not commercial, purposes. If you use our
images, please cite us!

We have made every effort to make the website user friendly, and to make the
calibration routines as valid and accurate as possible. However, if you find
any errors in the website or routines, or if you have any suggestions for the
website's improvement, please let us know: fred.kingdom_at_mcgill.ca.
